The Gard has outstanding landscapes and a powerful history. The coastlands of the Camargue have retained a wild, natural beauty and Aigues-Mortes, with its ancient ramparts, and Saint-Gilles, with its famous Romanesque abbey church, are wonderful places to visit. The Cévennes mountains are spectacular; they still echo with the memory of protestant rebellion. In the foothills are picture-postcard villages like Anduze and Sauve.
Nîmes is famous for its amphitheatre and the Roman aqueduct, the Pont du Gard, is on UNESCO's World Heritage List. The town of Uzès is renowned for its exquisite architecture. The “Gard Provencal” is home to lush vineyards, gorgeous gardens, and enchanting medieval villages. Barjac, Beaucaire and Villeneuve-lez-Avignon are just some of the towns you can visit. Then, there are the artisans, winemakers, and local food producers who’ll give you an authentic taste of this fabulous region.
